Through all of the bad times that this world has seen, there is one constant in my life that I've always turned to, and that is music. Whenever a tragic event happens, music is one source of therapy that I turn to to help relieve my heavy heart and help me through it. Below are just some of the songs on my playlist of uplifting songs/songs that help cheer me up.

1. "Ghosts That We Knew" -- Mumford and Sons.

So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light, 'cause oh that gave me such a fright.

2. "Above the Clouds of Pompeii" -- Bear's Den.

Hold your head up high.

3. "When the Day Comes" -- Nico & Vinz.

I don't wanna see us falling, so we just gotta keep on running.

4. "Saturn" -- Sleeping at Last.

How rare and beautiful it is to even exist.

5. "This is Gospel (Piano Version)" -- Panic! at the Disco.

This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart.

6. "Turn to Stone" -- Ingrid Michaelson.

Let's go to sleep with clearer heads, and hearts too big to fit our beds.

7. "Fix You" -- Coldplay.

Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones.

8. "Iris" -- Goo Goo Dolls.

When everything feels like the movies, yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.

9. "Carry On" -- FUN.

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground.

These nine songs are always at the top of my playlist for when my heart is hurting from the tragedies of the world. If you are looking for songs to listen to when you need a healer, these are only some of the ones I would recommend.
